Rash or acne around breasts?

Hello ladies ,

For a couple of months I've had an itchy, red patch of skin underneath my breasts near where my bra fits around my chest. I think this may be like a heat rash or just irritation due to milk leaking and then my bra rubbing against my chest. It was on one side but now I have an itchy red patch on both sides. Also I've noticed tiny red rash-like bumps on the upper part of my breasts that look a bit like acne. Sometimes these can be itchy too since the skin around my areola can get really dry and sometimes flaky. What can I use to treat this? Lotion, powders, petrolatum?? I don't feel great about using fragrant lotions around my breasts but I'm open to any suggestions!!

Thanks!
